who have you met?

So we all know how much I love to complain about our latest move.... I'm so lonely, Eric is working a ton, blah blah blah. I really do need to have a better attitude, ha ha! But one fun thing about this move is that I've met a few bloggers! It's funny that I get to meet so many in southern Utah, because there are a ton of bloggers in northern Utah! I thought I was moving away from all of that! Luckily I've had the opportunity to hangout with some awesome girls here. Unluckily, I haven't had my camera around for half of my meet ups. Oops!

When I first moved here Chelsea was the first blogger I met! We set up a lunch date asap but the night before our blate, Eric and I decided to run to Wal Mart and get some ice cream. I looked like a grease ball with my hair slicked back, no make up on, and wearing Eric's huge sweats. Yeah, I totally ran into Chelsea. Awesome! I looked much cuter the next day when we were supposed to meet :) Chels is seriously the BIGGEST sweetheart! I'm so glad blogging brought us together!

Gentri and I actually met when we were both living up north at the one blogger meet up I was able to attend before moving south. She moved south a week or two before I did and we get together all the time! I am so happy to say that she is much more than a blogger friend to me. She has been a lifesaver!

Gentri invited me to crash the party when Ashley came to town! Since I was already in town, minus the husband, I couldn't resist! And I'm so glad I went! Ashley is the CUTEST. I loved chatting with her for a bit and getting to know her sweet family. Bella almost made me puppy hungry, almost. But there's no way Eric will ever have a pet so I guess we'll have to settle for human pets ;)

Last week I got to hangout with Shaylynn! girl. is. hilarious. Seriously! But I may have scared her off. I told her I wasn't nervous to meet her (it's always a little nerve-racking meeting a blogger in real life!) but I totally lied. I didn't realize I was lying until I realized how freakin' much I talked about myself. Sometimes I talk and talk and talk to avoid any awkward silences......

but that probably makes things more awkward? Ha ha, oh well! I loved her and plan on hanging out again. Whether she wants to or not :)

I seriously can't believe how amazing the blogging world is. Having the opportunity to make new friendships everyday, and then turn those into real life friendships is just the best! Soooo, who wants to meet next? :) No creepers allowed!

I LOVE that you were able to meet Ashley! Before she moved to CA, we threw around the idea of a coffee blate, but it never came to be :(. She is def a super sweet girl and I LOVE that she is representing the mitten in these pictures :)

Oh how fun! Y'll are so cute. Hahaa... you always make me laugh... people pets! I adore you mama... we are going to have some great girl time one of these days! Can't wait... we are going to have a {craption} of a good time! Heheee...I'm funny too!

How cool! I've only been blogging a few months since my hubs and I moved, and I've already met so many awesome ladies via blogworld. I can't wait to check out a blogger meet-up and possibly meet some new real-life friends in our new state :)

This is so cool! I feel so far away from most bloggers, but maybe it's just because I haven't found that many from my home state/nearby. I don't think people around my small city actually blog. I'm the weird one, but that's pretty typical ; ) Glad you enjoyed your time! Blogger friends are awesome!

I LOVE that you get to meet up with other bloggers out there...so fun!!! Yay! I am sure Shaylynn loved ya...talking about you or not, plus, your are FAB! Can't wait for our meet up one day! :)

Side note: Thank you for your blog comment, Courtney! <3 I love the posts about me and am an open book really, but also know this blog started about affordable fashions and design type stuff and am never sure if people want to see that kind of stuff here, but from messages and comments, I think they do! Yay! :)

All of my fellow expat friends here in France, I've met through blogging! When I first started blogging, I never would have thought that would have happened, but it did and I couldn't be happier!So happy that you've met new friends near your new home too, it makes all the difference :)

I know what you mean! I was just thinking I wish I would have been better at blogging when I lived 2,000 miles from home and had ZERO friends. What a blessing to be connected to so many wonderful gals!

I'm so glad you were able to do that! And moving is hard! I moved from Salt Lake to Oklahoma and it's been both the best thing and hardest thing at the same time! But it looks like you're adjusting well! :) I have yet to find some bloggers that live near my neck of the woods! Thanks for reading! So glad we're blog friends now! :)
